Why Cristiano Ronaldo did not come to Diogo Jota’s funeral
Cristiano Ronaldo commented on the sudden death of Diogo Jota. But he did not come to the funeral service. An English medium wants to have experienced the reason for this.
The tragic death of Portuguese professional footballer Diogo Jota moves the world beyond the borders of sport. The 28-year-old and his younger brother André Silva, 25, died in a car accident in Spain on Thursday.
Many footballers and former companions of Jota then expressed their grief – including world soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo. “That makes no sense. We were just together in the national team, you just got married,” wrote Ronaldo on X.
And further: “Your family, your wife and children I express my condolences and wish them all the power of the world. I know that you will always be with them. Resting in peace, Diogo and André. We will all miss you.”
Não Faz Sentido. Ainda Agora Estávamos Juntos Na Seleção, Ainda Agora Tinhas Casado. À tua familia, à tua mulher e aos teus filhos, envio os meus sentimentos e desejo-lhes Toda a força do mundo. Be que Estarás Semprre com Eles. Descansem em Paz, Diogo e André. Vamos Todos Sentir … pic.twitter.com/h1qstvpoqs
